CompHound – Component Tracker

This is the CompHound project main landing page.

CompHound is a cloud-based universal component and asset usage analysis, reporting, bill of materials, visualisation and navigation project providing sample code for two presentations on connecting the desktop with the cloud
at RTC Europe in Budapest end of October
and Autodesk University in Las Vegas in December.

CompHoundRvt,
a Revit add-in to populate the CompHound web database with ±BIM family instances.

This project is based on and derived from the node.js mongodb web server for the FireRating in the Cloud sample, consisting of the
FireRatingCloud C# .NET REST API client Revit add-in and the
fireratingdb Node.js mongoDB web server.

In addition to that, this project also sports a user interface, including report, bill of material,
Autodesk View and Data API 2D and 3D model analysis, viewing and navigation functionality.

Try it out Live

It contains the collection of
component instances.
The only occurrences that I exported so far are from the standard Revit sample file rst_advanced_sample_project.rvt.
You can add more yourself by running the
CompHoundRvt add-in in any other Revit BIM of your choice.

Instead, one single main index entry point will display the datatable listing the component occurrences as well as provide access to the still missing reporting, viewing and model navigation functionality.
